Flexo Solutions Highlighted at INFO*FLEX 2013

On April 28 at 4 p.m., Bob O’Boyle, a coating products manager at Sun Chemical, will speak on the “Emerging Trends Panel.” One of the key trends he will discuss includes oxygen barrier coatings.

Sun Chemical’s SunBar Oxygen Barrier Coatings are designed to enable lightweighting of packaging by removing the metal foil and one layer of adhesive from packaging, as well as offering improved laminate flexibility. A smooth, homogenous, pinhole-free layer, SunBar is easily overprinted with inks and can be laminated to a variety of secondary films. SunBar is cost-effective, recyclable, biodegradable and press-ready, allowing for lighter-weight packaging, a reduced carbon footprint and easy application with few changes to current equipment

At 2:55 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, Bob Lorenz, vice president of business development at Sun Chemical, will give a presentation entitled “Engaging the Senses” in the INFO*FLEX theater. The presentation will show firsthand how Sun Chemical’s specialty effects inks and coatings can engage the senses. From metallic, glow-in-the-dark, fluorescent or photochromic inks to tactile, velvet feel and soft feel coatings that invite the touch of fingers, these sensory inks and pigments can make products seem more than a typical item on the shelf.

In partnership with ScentSational Technologies, Sun Chemical can also help brand owners interact with consumers using the sense of smell through SunScent water-based coatings. Available in stock or custom aromas, SunScent coatings, can be used for all types of print and can be applied as a spot coating and done inline. Sun Chemical scent-marketing experts can help brand owners and package printers develop a unique fragrance for their brand.

Sun Chemical’s Bob Mullen, the FTA INFO*FLEX 2013 forum chair, will be conducting the kickoff “Welcome Session” at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, April 28.
